Rural Crowborough, TN6

A fine and substantial character country house finished to an exceptional standard throughout occupying park like gardens and grounds of just over five acres immediately adjoining the breath-taking Ashdown Forest.  This outstanding brick and timber faced home dates back to the 1700’s and has been sympathetically restored and greatly extended incorporating reclaimed French oak beams which are about 400 years old. 

Kimberly Court is presented in immaculate condition and affords light and generously proportioned accommodation which extends to just over 6,000 sq.ft. The gardens and grounds are extensive and immaculately maintained with a sheltered flagstone seating terrace spanning the entire width of the rear of the house beyond which are areas of rolling lawn providing a park like setting interspersed with an extensive variety of mature shrubs and trees along with a large and beautifully constructed child’s play area, an attractive timber framed building, and a stable block with tack room, ideal for those with equestrian needs. 

The accommodation comprises a flagstone entrance porch which leads to an impressive reception hall with oak panel staircase, a bespoke oak kitchen with granite work surfaces and full range of Miele built-in appliances to include a double oven, induction hob, electric hob, microwave, two fridges, freezer, coffee maker and dishwasher. In addition, there is a 2-door oil fired Aga with granite surround. Adjacent to the kitchen is an outstanding vaulted breakfast room with windows running the full length of the room and glazed doors opening to the gardens and grounds. The drawing room is an exceptional entertaining space with views across the gardens and a large fireplace with stone sides and brick surround as well as a cast iron woodburning stove. The dining room has original features and is bay fronted with another impressive original inglenook fireplace with further wood burner. There is a good size study and a pretty snug room both of which have fireplaces and fitted oak bookcases. A large utility room houses further fridges and freezers, a Miele washing machine and tumble dryer and extensive storage units. The utility room offers access through to a ground floor guest suite ideal for an au-pair or granny annex off which is a glorious brick and glass garden room/potting store. 

From the reception hall, a grand staircase rises to a half landing with a large window overlooking the gardens, a very spacious and part vaulted master bedroom which has a large en-suite bath/shower cubicle with ‘His n Her’s’ wash basins, a fine dressing area with built-in bespoke oak wardrobes and bedroom furniture, two further generous size double bedrooms both with en-suite bathrooms and separate shower cubicles, as well as two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
